anyone know where it comes from?
ive been in probably 10 different bmw's and they all have that smell...
anyway to get it back as the car gets older and loses it? maybe BMW smell in a can? :)
Might be the smell of that leather. I know that "smell". It feels like an old friend, whenever I smell that "smell".

Could be the leather or I have even heard that it's the horse hair used in the actual seat .

It is the leather. The BMW leather treatment that you can get from a dealer seems to refresh the smell.

OOH that smell,
8 years and still has that smell.
I have wondered if it would ever go away, but
I will use the BMW leather treatment should
it ever lose that smell.

My girlfriend each have a BMW and they both smell like a BMW. I LOVE that smell. Same with Mercedes, all the old ones smell the same.

True. I drove the E39 today, and I was instantaneously thrown back to the first day I drove it. Its Love all over again. So BMW leather treatment is what helps it keep its scent.

Some companies engineer smells for their cars interior. BMW does not. The new materials are what makes the car smell the way it does. New leather and new plastic.

all car companies smell the same. Ive worked at toyota and honda before and all toyotas smell the same no matter if it was made in 2003 or 1985. Its weird.

I don't think they use horse hair anymore. It might have stopped with the E28s.
